George Clooney and Amal Clooney are reportedly committed to raising their children in privacy. The acclaimed filmmaker and his wife, a prominent British barrister, are parents to twins, Ella and Alexander.
Recently, an insider shared with In Touch Weekly that the couple plans to host a grand celebration for their 10th wedding anniversary at their new home in Southern France. “They plan to have all their friends fly over from Hollywood, and, of course, both their families will be there,” said the source.
The Clooneys have consistently expressed their desire to give their children a normal upbringing, away from the prying eyes of the media. Their secluded property in Southern France offers them the privacy they need to enjoy family life. George and Amal have chosen to keep their children out of the spotlight, rarely sharing photos or personal details about them.
In a 2021 interview with GQ, George Clooney emphasized how important it is for him and Amal to shield their children from the pressures of fame. “I want them to be happy, healthy, and kind. I want them to grow up in a world that treats them well and to understand the importance of treating others with kindness,” he explained.
The decision to celebrate their 10th anniversary in France also reflects their desire for a more intimate gathering, surrounded by close friends and family. The insider mentioned that both George and Amal’s families will be present, including Amal’s siblings and George’s parents, Nick and Nina Clooney.
The Clooneys are known for their philanthropy and humanitarian efforts, often involving their children in charitable activities. Amal, as a barrister specializing in international law and human rights, and George, through his work as an actor, director, and activist, have consistently advocated for social justice.
Their twins, Ella and Alexander, have occasionally accompanied their parents to public events, but George and Amal have largely kept them away from media attention. In a 2022 interview with CBS Mornings, George reiterated the importance of family privacy and how he and Amal strive to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
